It also doesn't help that as far as we can see neither of his parents really sat down and explained the why for the change. All he understands is that he's not good enough because he'll get burned.
So yes while Endeavor clearly showed concern for Toya's physical wellbeing, he did a shit job explaining that to the person who needed to hear it most, and as such didn't take into account the boys emotional wellbeing.

Yes, I’m very comfortable with that interpretation of what I said.
You can’t say Endeavor didn’t do anything wrong because he obsessively groomed Touya to be a hero from a way too early age - cementing in his mind that being #1 was all that mattered, and that was the only way to get Daddy’s love. He did a lot more to Touya than just abandon him.
